Hi all,
I have successfully installed a Bering 1.2 on my Soekris net4521 but i have a "little" problem because i can't save any parameters in the config files ( i.e: ip adresses ). I establish the connection to the soekris with serial port (using Minicom running under a root and a normal user account ).
Any idea of what i've miss ?
Thks in advance,
Thomas
You fail to tell us what the boot media is on your Soekris. You did not provide any error messages, so we have to guess. Is the boot media a compact flash?
Make sure that the destination is correctly configured in the backup menu. Make sure it is not mounted. The backup program will fail to work if the device is already mounted.
My boot media is a compact flash. I didn't know i had to choose a destination to backup files...what directory on which media i have to choose/create ? If it is on the compact flash, how can the backup be made ? I don't understand how can the backup be made if the media is unmounted. I've checked up the /var/log/messages files but any error was displayed.
Thks for you help Victor
Assuming your CF is primary master - it should read full, hda1, msdos for each package.
umount /dev/hda1 before attempting to backup. THe backup program does its own mount and umount.
It is a good idea not to leave the CF mounted. In fact - I rmmod the modules for mounting the CF and then rm them off the ramdrive so that it cannot be mounted without transporting the modules in using WINSCP3 and insmod-ing them. This is a poor man's write protect that means if a cracker could find a security hole, he could not do any damage to the router that a reboot would not cure. Scripts are available to do this from Eric for Bering and I wrote a couple for uClibc that are in the list archives. (different modules used in the two systems)
